“Participation – gently regulated, non-confrontational – is a part of each show, with outcomes in the public realm”

FINAL VISIONS

Prepare for the worst, hope for the best.

Final Visions created by Field Theory is a performance event presenting live apocalyptic survival scenarios, in collaboration with members of the ‘prepping’ community and other special interest clubs. Using an reflexive documentary style, the scenes follow an archetypal script in which Field Theory are forced to confront their inadequacies, overcome great hardships and ultimately prevail in the ‘new world’.

The scenes are repeated again and again whilst members of various clubs act as on stage ‘consultants’, shaping, expanding and redirecting the performance with their particular knowledge and experience. Caught in a dysfunctional time loop Field Theory must find the ultimate combination of people and parts to transcend to a higher plain of futurist collaboration.
